10.173.1BE with us; I have chosen thee: stand steadfast and immovable. Let all the people wish for thee let not thy kingship fall away.

10.173.4Firm is the sky and firm the earth, and steadfast also are these hills. Steadfast is all this living world, and steadfast is this King of men.

10.173.5Steadfast, may Varuna the King, steadfast, the God Brhaspati, Steadfast, may Indra, steadfast too, may Agni keep thy steadfast reign.

10.173.6On constant Soma let us think with constant sacrificial gift And then may Indra make the clans bring tribute unto thee alone.
